;a Y,ZZLY, EUSTFOIID, N. C, f x.IDA Y, JULY 29, 1949. PAGE FIVK mote Opposes Single Military . Set-Up . The ; merger of the three military departments into a single department will lead this country to the "Prus sian military system," xin the opinion -of Ferdinand Eberstadi, former chair-d - M il . n r !n . j i. 1 .uixn vi iue ojiecitu- isornnuiiee 01 ine Hoover Commission. 1 The matter is up for consideration again because President Truman re commended to Congress the establish ment of a Department of Defense, with authority over all the armed services and the consequent status of the Departments of Army, Navy i and Air Force. : , , - The Hoover Commission, in ip3 re commendation, did not advocate such a radical change in the military es tablishment, set up two years ago fwith three semi-autonomous depart ments acting under the "general" authority of a Secretary of Defense. The President's recommendation is Included in a military reorganization bill, already passed by the Senate, which would reduce from "Secretary" to "Under-Secretary,"' the civilian chief of each, of the services. Mr. Hoover recently testified against the creation of a single chief of staff and Mr. Eberstadt took the same, view, maintaining that a single department would result in a single chief of staff, which, he thought, would be "danger ous" to the country. Brynes and Baruch Criticize H.S.T. In recent public addresses, former Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and retired industrialist, Bernard M. Baruch, both natives of South Caro lina huvA ifolivArpri viornrniiR. if in direct, criticism of the present Ad ministration. Mr. Byrnes warned against the wel fare state and Mr. Baruch reported a lack of a plan of "total mobilization," which, he asserted, represents a "needless invitation to disaster.", President Truman bas made no 8i- ' rect reply to either statement but White House circles, according to The " New York , Times,' "exhibited con siderable indignation" over the Baruch charge and intimated thajt Mr. ' Baruch was badly informed, this statement was subsequently attribut ed directly to the President, who categorically denied that any mobili zation plan had been presented to him or rejected by him. In reply, the industrialist suggested that the Pres ident examine the White House files and recalled that such a play was sub- t mitted .fothe President inMay or June, of 1948. r- ? x It is generally known that . Messrs. Byrnes- and Baruch have been closely associated and the political experts wonaer u mere is any connection Be tween the timing of the two address es. Do they indicate the beginning of a more audible opposition to Presi dent Truman's "Fair Deal" on do mestic affairs and his handling - of the . nation's security in - connection with international affairs? ' Three-way Test on Brannan Plan The nation will see a three-commodity-trial of the controversial Bran- 1 nan production-payment plan if the House Agriculture ommittee has its way.. ':.; ' " Representative Stephen Pace, of Georgia, explaining the plan, said that the Committee had been unable ; to Nget "tost estimate? of production payments, as proposed by Secretary Brannan, but he could not foresee administrative difficulties which may prove insurmountable and he was eure that consumers would feet the belie' fits envisaged in the plan Department of Agriculture of- cials seem to be. satisfied with what the House Committee proposes, as sertion that it is enough to show that the iplanwill work. Others '; suggest that tough sailing will come in the Senate but it is generally expected thatthe House will support the Pace biH In the meantime, Secretary Bran nan has listed hogs, potatoes and Wool, as the three crops for the experiment. 'Economy In DV S. Housekeeping It is quite true, as Dr. Robert L. Johnson, chairman of the Citizens Committee on the Hoover Report, as serts, that the general public knows very little about the "housekeeping activities" of the Federal Government and, therefore, the public is noting a position to understand the importance of recent steps designed to bring about some efficiency in the purchase of various agencies of government. President Truman has ordered a general house-cleaning and inven tory of governmental property, under authority of the reorganization Act, recently passed by Congress. He wants the heads of all executive agen cies to survey their excess property and real estate and to plan their fu ture requirements in a way to avoid "high cost, small lot" buying in the interest of promoting greater savings The new law facilitated the crea tion of a General Services Adminis tration, which has the functions of the' Federal Works Agency, the Bu reau of Federal Supply, Office of Contract Settlement, the War assets Administration and the National Arc hives establishment. It will attempt to bring together the purchase of supplies, the construction of some buildings and xthe management of other public works. While it does not include all pro grams and functions now being car ried out by various executive agen cies, the President has called at tention to the purpose of the legis lation and, so far as practicable, or dered them to procure, utilize and dispose of property in accordance with the act and the regulations is sued under its authority. A Catholic Congressman Speaks Representative Andrew Jacobs, of Indiana, is a Catholic member of Con gress who does not agree with Cardi nal Spellman's recent intemperate de nunciation of Representative Graham Barden, of North Carolina, author of the Federal Aid to Education bill. I Mr.. Jacobs states that a great many camoiics msagreo nu mc Cardinal and points out that as long as Catholics have the same right to send their children to public schools as anyone else, they are not dis criminated against. Mr. Jacobs quoted the late Al Smith on the separation of Church and State, and pointed out that Catho lics, as a group, "do not .have the right to a separate, publicly-supported school system." Mr. Jacobs added, quite correctly, that neither "does any other group of people have such right" Defending the right of Catholics and other religions to build and main tain churches, "but not to build or maintain them with public funds," the Indiana Congressman pointed out that "our parochial schools are an adjunct of our religion, established for educational use instead of using public schools, solely for the sake of the child's religious training." He then concludes that Catholics must "keep parochial schools and maintain them or take public funds and con vert them into public schools." It should be noted that a great many religious organizations maintain schools and colleges throughout the land; These institutions of learning are in competition with State-supported institutions of higher learning. No one has suggested that the church organizations cannot have their in stitutions of learning, if they want them, but this is suite different from attempting to secure public funds for the use of the churches in connection with their institutions of learning. As Representative Barden says, I don't believe it's the duty of the Gov ernment to urovide money for Pres byterian schools, any more than for private schools of Methodists, Catho lics, Quakers, Episcopalians, or any other faith."
